    Hi ****-40 i have determined that it is oil in the coolant. The coolant overflows and the oil is off the end of the dip stick. I think what i am going to do is first determine where the oil is coming from then remove the rad, heater core and any other removable part of the cooling system and take them to a rad shop and have them steam cleaned.

    Hey Guys I have the same problem with my 2005 F250 6.0l Diesel.

    the Engine oil is running into to the coolent system! The dipstick of engine oil is at very low! what should I do in this situation?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Hi pioneerhdd, this oil in the radiator,have you determined if it is engine oil or transmission oil? The reason I ask is from 94-06 some vehicles equipped with 4.5L,6L or 7.3L diesel engines may develop oil in the cooling system due to an oil cooler failure, if the oil in your rad is due to cooler failure, once repairs are made be sure to flush the system, I would recommend motorcraft VC-1 coolant flush.Let me know how you make out, if it is engine oil in the cooling system I can provide you with the probable causes related to this good luck to you

It does sound like an engine oil cooler failure. The cooler on this is the big lump of metal under the oil filter housing. It fits down into the block and has several hoses and sensors. The normal way to check for a leak is to pull it out and pressure test it. You may however be able to drain your coolant, then look for a short piece of hose between your oil cooler and EGR cooler. This hose will twist about 90Deg and then you can slide it back toward the EGR cooler. Make sure you have plenty of engine oil and start the engine with this hose off. If you have a bad enough oil leak the oil may be pumped out here. This may also be a craked head or a front cover problem, but most of the time those will put coolant in the oil.

My friend's 04 Denali 6L is leaking coolant. I
probably the water pump. front and center of the engine, the pulley that may or may not have the cooling fan attached. from under the truck a leaking water pump usually leaves some coolant residue on the timing cover and at the front of the oil pan where the wiring harness come across.

6l is a tricky engine... there is a bypass in the heatercore so you will always have good flow no matter what...first thing i would do is go to napa and buy a block tester and test the cooling system for exhaust gasses. if exhaust gasses are found replace the head gaskets, the oil cooler, you can try to backflush the heatercore but replacement is recomended.ONLY use motocraft GOLD coolant. anything else will clog the oil cooler and you will have to do it all again. other than that only thing it could really be is a busted blend door motor or blend door(inside dash)

F250 Lariat Diesel turbo no function sometimes and exhaust smoke white
you didnt specify if this is a 6L or 6.4L since its an 07 it could be either. If 6.0L, White smoke typically indicates a blown egr cooler and this usually damages the egr valve which may cause it to fail open allowing the coolant to enter the combustion chambers and be burnt and cause white smoke, If its a 6.4L I have seen the highside turbo bearings fail causing poor performance and seal failure resulting in oil getting into exhaust, high exhaust temps make it burn and it may appear as a whitish colored smoke depending on severity. Hopefully for you its a 6.0L becuase the 6.4L turbo r&r is a repair where we remove the entire cab from the truck. However your not much better off with 6.0L since egr cooler/oil cooler job can easily run you $1500-2000.

Oil in coolant and engine will turn over and will not start...2005 Ford F450 Super Duty 6.0 Diesel
oil in the coolant generally indicates a blown head gasket. If the head gasket is blown, oil and coolant could be getting into the cylinders. You should have a mechanic check it out. I don't know a whole lot about dianosinng diesels. If you can get the glow plugs out, turn it over and see it any water or oil blows out of the holes.

2003 ford f350 6.0 diesel
The 6.0l diesel is noted for having oil and fuel enter the coolant system. If it is oil then the oil cooler has failed. The oil cooler is located the the center of the engine under the intake.On an F-series truck the oil cooler is below the oil filter housing. It can be identified by two things. The low oil pressure sensor and a small blue or orange hose is connected to the cooler. If it is fuel in the coolant then you have a cracked head or cracked injector sleeve.

04 f250 6l diesel cranks but will not start when cold.
it seems that because it sit's for a while that perhaps it's losing it's prime. if ythis happens generally you will have to reprime the fuel system. in a diesel system you also have glow plugs to help ignite the fuel. check to make sure your glow plugs work, but i would start with whether you have proper prime in the fuel system.. please rate this

Diesel in coolant resevoir
you could have a blown head gasket, have a compression check done to see if there is any low cylinders,

a head gasket failure does not always allow water to get into the oil, the failure point can also be between the water jacket and the cylinder bore
